G,day Ben, you can walk left (faceing the cliff) to one of three rap anchors, personally I have always
used the ones above Clean Sweep, but only cos It's a single rap, the other closer stations might need to
hit a station midway down the wall, they are above The great Devide and another above father Oblivion.

Yeah, double 50's are fine, but if you are thinking of doing the 7th then take at least 3 # 1 RP's for the aid
out the roof flake after the second belay! crucial gear as everything else is too big, that and plenty of
slings to leave on the bolts for your second and you to aid through on! no other gear essential, maybe
some bigger cams for the horizontal pitch might be nice, but not crucial. have a good one this is a really
fun day out. BP

at the risk of disrupting this hijacked thread with a serious question...is that a water thing?

Thermal. Rock expands when hot, contracts when cold. Maybe my conclusion is wrong but my experience is that gear jammed in a flake on a hot afternoon usually pulls out easily in the cool of the morning. And the flakes on Seventh Pillar move. Almost thirty years ago I recovered a hex that had been squashed and then dropped out of Seventh Pillar. So, I'd do prefer to do Seventh Pillar in cool weather.
But I'm quite happy for someone to tell me why I'm wrong with my theory.
